Pokémon game development help!

[Vallleyg1988]

Hey! I've been playing the original pokemon games for a long time, kind of out grew it by gen 3 but I have kids now and my son loves Pokémon, he's got a switch and every pokemon book I can find, he's a pokemon expert in all the things I missed while I wasn't playing. Recently he wanted to design his own game map. I drew something up for him and it evolved into a full fledged game story. Both of us are super invested and would love to turn it into a GBA game but I know absolutely nothing about game development or rom hacks. It's got a fairly complex story, a few newly created pokemon we'd love to see, lots of nostalgia and new adventures. Can anyone help or advise me on what to do?
I have a 30+ page story outline written up and I'd like to include a few new pokemon my son and I created together


The story itself will bring in old characters and pokemon interactions for a nostalgic feel and I really wanted to included a main character "alignment" portion to the game. So if you ever played Star Wars knights of the old republic, that's what I was aiming for, the main character interacts with the world and can earn "good" or "evil" points eventually leading to a choice of joining the "evil" side and helping dominate the region or joining the heroes rescuing a pokemon captured by the evil side and freeing the region of their influence. I have a plan for 2 of the original 151 to have a very important role in the story, I also brought back Brock but this time he's now a newly minted pokemon professor who took the position because he was concerned about the dark group terrorizing the region, I thought that idea would help bring the story back to the roots of Pokémon.
As I was writing the story it is working itself more into a trilogy of games my son and I have been calling pokemon Legacies.
Some of my favourite pokemon are Snorlax, Raichu, Annailape. My son's favorite are snorlax, cinderace, and Rayquaza.
Some of the newly created pokemon are evolutions of current pokemon like Onix, Weezing and Weepingbell.

As far as recruitment I need the whole package.
Mappers
Spriters

Scripters

Please reach out if anyone would like to help develop this project, I'm open to reworking some ideas also

What kind of information do you need or how could we get started? I am in no rush and willing to wait for others that may be willing to help. I am really out of my element here, I really know nothing about game development so I don't know where to begin

Try to get a 1636 fire red squirrels ROM and use tool named hex maniac advance to do basic things (also I suggest you creating a discord account and getting into hex maniac advance server)
